the Prolonged period of isolation, much has changed in our lives. In a society locked into confined spaces apartments, talking about the increase aggression, including virtual, and in particular in relation to children. In fact, how much anxiety, and aggravated psychological problems and risks with the arrival of the pandemic coronavirus and translation of our entire lives online, on the eve of Day of protection of children was dealt with by leading experts in the digital environment.

Analysis of 1 million calls to Child helpline, according to the head of this psychological the web service, Svetlana Shevchenko, makes you wonder about many things: “a Top issue for the vast majority of applicants were not domestic violence and not the fear of coronavirus infection, and distance learning at home! People say they can’t, I don’t know how to build their lives in conditions of the remote. They simply can’t bear, to lose it!”

For comparison, the proportion of cases associated with panic caused by fear to get sick or die from coronavirus was only about 5%. Thus, for the Russians of remote training of children at home was worse than the most dangerous virus of the last century. That’s right – no more and no less!

However, the increasing number of references adolescents with suicidal feelings and loss too, said the head of Service of psychological assistance to adolescents and youth, “Your territory. Online” Ekaterina Fedorova. But mostly, this happens in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Ekaterinburg — the cities with the largest epidemic proportions. In March, there was, on average, approximately 5 such cases teenagers a day in April was 7.

the Main threats on the Internet for children and teenagers, according to the head of the Center for the study and monitoring of the youth environment Denis Zavarzin, are “fraudulent scheme, the distribution of personal information and the spread of negative content, which badly affects the psychophysical state of the child and contributes to the destruction of morality”. For example, if the notorious “blue whale” is closed, there is a new community, encouraging kids to suicide is just now under other names.

still here and such a serious threat to the moral and psychological health of the child as cyberbullying. To fight it, according to Zavarzin, “by monitoring social networks is extremely difficult, because the main harassment goes in private messages and closed groups, However, with the beginning of the year was detected and blocked 53 such groups. So, in the Novosibirsk region was blocked a group where bullying was carried out in conjunction with fraud of this kind: to remove the universal access incriminating photos, with victims claimed ��engi”.

Originated in the era of coronavirus and new types of Internet fraud aimed at minors, said the President of the Russian Association of telephone emergency psychological assistance Andrei Fireplace:

– Here, the parents sit at dinner and I think that in the next room their child remotely at the computer doing homework. And at this time the “nice people” offered a job with higher wages. The Internet literally bloomed groups that promise, and especially young people, work and retraining with a guaranteed prosperity – we only need for it to send them funds.

the Fight against these phenomena is extremely complex — hence the recurring bills involving deanonimizatsiyu Internet users, and increasing responsibility, up to criminal, for persons placing aggressive positions, and for social networks, where they revealed special monitoring multi-million dollar fines. But do not forget:

– Social monitoring of self-isolation and quarantine in pandemic coronavirus found in Moscow a large number of errors. As a result, many fines issued on its basis, were invalid. And if the same situation happens again with the monitoring of Internet security, it can cause severe social tension – warned the head of work with adolescents, Center “Crossroads” Cyril Hlamov
